Genetic and Molecular Analysis of Ultradian Rhythms in Drosophila

摘要: The genetic analysis of ultradian rhythms in Drosophila is a relatively new area study and was stimulated by the observation short-term rhythmic fluctuation courtship song male fly (Kyriacou Hall 1980). This cycle has 60 s periodicity species D. melanogaster 40 sibling simulans 1980, 1986). Remarkably it observed that period rhythm mutations, per L1, s, 01, which lengthen, shorten or obliterate free-running circadian behaviour (Konopka Benzer 1971) also had parallel effects on male’s Thus began series studies have sprung several surprises, some controversy, respects led way towards molecular dissection systems.
